Sketch for Second Set of Panels


I have been feeding the local Jays, black oil seed in the Droll Yankees squirrel-proof feeder. The Blue Jays are almost too heavy for the weighed perch, but the squirrels now have to feed off the ground. The Jays have been coming in groups like this and making their usual ruckus and also that rare yodeling call. I thought the flurry would make some good ceiling panels

A Little Different-Ceiling Panels

Happy Holidays to all of you! Today is a most amazing "after storm" I have not experienced this since I lived in Illinois many years ago. Last night it snowed, and shortly after that it got colder and the wind started to blow. Now today it is sunny, but the wind has not stopped. We are drifted in.

Fire in the stove and Christmas leftovers...all is good.

I am working on some ceiling panels for a children's surgical center in NYC.
I have two more sets of panels, that will have more birds. 
I want to create the effect of "looking up" and them "looking down".
It is just the perfect day to be at the table with sketchbook, trapped in the house.

Drawing Session November '10

Last Wednesday I went to the drawing session again. This time, and on purpose, I left my charcoal and pastel and conte' at home.
I only packed pens, brushes and ink and some 70# Bristal paper.

The session is run in the usual way, with the fast gesture pose and then longer and longer poses. I feel that to get the most out of the time I should push my own envelop, but since it is only the second time, I am not completely in the groove yet.
I was hovering over the paper as the 30 seconds were ticking by when one of my fellow bloggers came to mind "Firefly Workshop".
I splashed some ink wash around in a random, but educated manor till I could find her, then took the pen to it. As you can barely see, I even rotated the paper through some of these fast poses.


This second one I fell back to the way I would draw with conte', but the marker fought back! I quickly went for the brush and ink. Interesting, but if not for this blog entry I would likely file it, maybe in a round file. 

Now that I had the brush and ink in hand and I was intent not to fight it. I think some enjoyable things started to happen. The model took one of those poses like a Michelangelo "Sibyl"
